    Are they attached to the physical house or to the idea of the house?

    What if they’re haunting the physical location and not just the building? I’ll have to check the ghost handbook.

      If the ghosts are of ded contemporary physicists they’re probably haunting the region of space that our solar system occupied in the galaxy when they died.

    New ghost busting method: just keep replacing floorboards one at a time until you find the one that the ghost is attached to, then send it to landfill.

        Build an entire new home all out of materials from previous haunted houses with ghosts attached to them and have them brawl it out battle royale style. Every nail, Every board, Every strut should come with a ghost.

    ghosts are like fungus in the timber, sure you can replace every part one-by-one and they go away, but miss one and the smell won’t go out and re-infect the whole house. so it’s not really worth it.

    It depends on how quickly each piece is replaced. It takes some time for the ghost to attach to new boatds and beams. And thats of course not considering haunted indian burial grounds, creepy mirrors or goth chicks moving in, that yhrows the calculations way off.

    Ghost stories are about haunted and damaged people. Not actual ghosts. So no, the individual/s being haunted would still be haunted.

      ghost stories are mostly about microorganisms that people couldn’t see before microscopes were invented.

        I’m sure some are about carbon monoxide.

    Ghosts have to go somewhere, so you have to rebuild the original house to lure them away

    It depends on the type of haunting, and also what’s keeping them there. In my experience they could be attached to anything from an entire room to a single item, like a matchbook. In any case usually a good fire and total demolition of said location would be best.
